Well it is here! Another long awaited matchup for the Raiders this time against a kind of familiar foe in DBP out of the NJ the game will be played at West Point which should make for a great atmosphere for the Raiders! I think STA will take this game every facet of our game is strong this season from the offense and defense to STs we are good across the board and I am not being cocky either just stating the truth really...it all showed vs a pretty good AH team a couple of weeks ago. Our boys have had an additional week to prepare and clean up the mistakes and also get ready for what DBP will throw at them and that is huge to me. STA will come prepared and will take this by 14-21pts I think the spread is like 25 on one site but that is a little high for me....wouldnt be shocked to see a close game either your thoughts?

I wish I could attend.  I'll watch on TV.  FOX sports I think.

 

I did go out on a limb with 37-10, it may be a thin limb but I think STA can win big...

 

I will be at STA/Miramar.  Can't wait for that one.

Will try to actually make STA/Miramar is schedule allows....but will see. I'll be watching too will be a very big test for the Raiders on the road but theyve done it before...maybe a little revenge on the minds of the kid who are left over from the 2012 team but not sure that is a factor at all lol

I agree STARaiders, this will be a great road test and it is great to see this matchup.  I happen to respect DBP more than other national powerhouse schools because they traveled to South Florida (something most national powerhouses refuse to do...) .  Kind of a rare situation here with STA - they play two games back to back (DBP and Miramar)  with revenge on their mind. Any significant injuries with STA and is the Def. coordinator situation in check?

  I think you are about right with STA going on to a 14-21 point victory here.  I made the spread 17 but agree if DBP takes care of the ball and plays possession we could see closer to a 10 point game. 

 

My prediction:  St. Thomas Aquinas 31  Don Bosco Prep 15

No significant injuries that I know of....not sure on the DC front but I'll try to find out. I agree DBP is a great program with a want to COME to S Fla and play top teams....will STA do to them what Miami Central did? Maybe we have the talent to do it and I am not being cocky that is just a fact. I would take a W regardless of the score but if STA blows them out then I think the national scene needs to really watch out....STA 35 DBP 17

      So if Dillard wanted to do some of these things you would say no and not support.

      And that’s where I’m at with it. I’m sure teddy heart is in the right place. But if we’re gonna keep it real, between last year and this upcoming year MNW has received well over 50 transfers a lot of them that are from different counties and stay nowhere near MNW.    some of them maybe because of changing environments for a better life etc etc, but it’s also 2025 and lot of the transfers was to follow the hype train.    while the uber rides can be a touchy subject depending on the kids situation, he also mentioned he needed thousands in donation for recovery, I get it he went pro and a lot of these assets he had in the league, but a lot of what he’s asking for isn’t even a high school requirement.    when I played ball out recovery was a ice bath lol. He then went on to say 4,000 a week for food ? , what are they eating lobster.    then he said for the three day gym stay he had to front 14,000 dollars for the kids. 14,000 to sleep in the gym for 3 days for what I’m assuming is for team building, is still insane.

      Nolebull, You are making a good argument for what the rule ought to be or why the rule ought to be changed.   I'm telling you what the rule is.  Interestingly, I witnessed first hand the FHSAA deal with a case that was very similar to the (presumably, hypothetical) one you just described.  A family provided a kid with a bed for the night because that kid had an unfortunate family situation that would have left him homeless for the night had a teammate's family not stepped up and given him a place to stay for the night.  Yep, you got it, impermissible benefit.  Coach and school penalized.  The difficulty is coming up with rules that can't be taken advantage of.  Where do you draw the line?   If paying for an Uber is OK, why can't you just buy the kid a car instead?  More convenient for all parties.  If you can buy a kid a meal, why can't you take his family grocery shopping and let them stock up?  Or, better yet, just give then a gift card and let them spend the money as they please.  What do you do when one school offers up a $1,000 gift card, but another school is willing to give the kid a $2,000 gift card?  Do we really want to turn high school sports into professional sports?

      Some kids NEED to transfer to get in the best position to change the trajectory of their entire life. Could literally save their life. Difference between going to college and being stuck in your neighborhood getting lost to streets.    And I can only speak for myself, but I’m more interested in a at-risk kid changing his situation for the better in hopes of saving his life than your favorite high school team losing a game because he transferred from your favorite school.

      I wouldn’t be so critical of the FHSAA if they didn’t lie and say they give 2 craps about student athletes. I wish people would just be honest. But I guess if they were honest, it would mess up their hustle.
